Ok guys, I just invented this awsemo-coolio-energy blob.
Check out the tut:

1) Create a new doc, I will be using 500x500

2) Fill the background with black

3) Filter->Texture->Grain(Intensity 100, Contrast 100, Type Vertical)

4) Press CTRL+F 3 ti'mes

5) Press CTRL+C then CTRL+V

6) Edit->Transform->Rotate 90CW

7) Set the new layer's fill to 50%

8) Layers->Flatten I'mage

9) Filter->Stylize->Find Edges

10) Filter->Artistic->Neon Glow (Size 2, Brightness 13) Pick a greenish color

11) Filter->Stylize->Glowing Edges(Width 1, Brightness 8, Smoothness 10)

12) Press CTRL+F

And your done! Awsome eh? 
You should change some of the settings if you dont want it to be exactly the same

The piccy didn't work for me... so I followed the tutorial without it. I don't know if I've produced quite the effect you intended or not, but I like it anyway.    Here, have a look:

I think we need a gfx tut section
what do u gys say, a tut section in the gfx area, specifically for gfx tuts like this one

[Fox]

Sounds good to me. 

I like gfx tutorials. I made a fur tutorial if anyone's interested. I love doing fur in Photoshop. In fact, I've got quite a few techniques for Photoshop.. but they're not all exactly filter based and many of them turn out better with a gfx tablet...

hmm wierd I must have written it wrong..>
Hold on well I redo the tut

It may be that the version he has isnt pd CS, just ps.

[Jakezilla]

*Cough*she*cough*

I didn't notice the CS bit, I've got Photoshop 7, not 8... I'll try again later, probably. It could just be that I'm really ***: at following instructions of course, I tend to make things up as I go along.

uhm, Ps 7.0-CS, means it works from 7 to ver 8 (CS)

[Jakezilla]
